Daisy Edgar-Jones could well have signed the role of her life by agreeing to interpret the main character of Where the crayfish sing, expected in theaters on August 17. A thriller that mixes suspense and romance: “Kya, an abandoned little girl, grew up alone in the dangerous swamps of North Carolina. For years, the wildest rumors have swirled about the “Swamp Girl” of Barkley Cove, further isolating the sensitive and resilient Kya from the community. His meeting with two young men from the city opens up a new and frightening world for Kya; but when one of them is found dead, the whole community immediately sees her as the prime suspect. As the truth of events emerges, the answers threaten to reveal the many secrets buried in the swamps.“
Highly anticipated by moviegoers, the feature film, inspired by the literary work of Delia Owens, heralds great promises that viewers are already delighted to discover. In particular thanks to the presence of Daisy Edgar-Jones. If the 24-year-old British actress has already tried her luck at the cinema in Fresh, a film by Mimi Cave released in March on Disney +, it is especially in the series that she stood out. His immense talent has already been rewarded.
Cold Feet: Loves and Small Happiness, Gentleman Jack, War of the Worlds… Daisy Edgar-Jones has multiplied the roles and she was right to believe in it. Last year, she was nominated for a Golden Globe for Best Actress in a Miniseries for Normal People. In 2020, she won the first Madame Figaro Rising Star Award at CanneSéries and appeared the same year in the list of the 25 most influential women in Great Britain, established by the magazine vogue.
At the New York premiere of Where the crayfish sing, Daisy Edgar-Jones was accompanied by Taylor John Smith and Harris Dickinson, the two other principal actors of the film. What give a little more desire to discover their crazy adventures in dark rooms. The film is also produced by Reese Witherspoon, to whom we owe another cult thriller, Gone Girl. See you on August 17!
